Morning Coffee & Book Discussion

This month we will be discussing How Democracies Die, by Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt. This book is a warning about the fragility of our system of government. If we are going to change our political system, will it be to improve democracy so if functions better, or will we drift towards chaos or a more entrenched oligarchy? Come for this follow up to similar books discussed earlier this year: On Tyranny, by Timothy Snyder, and The Common Good, by Robert Reich. Given that BES is moving this month, the location for this program will be determined later. Contact Hugh Taft-Morales to sign up and get location information.

The Baltimore Ethical Society is a humanist congregation. We focus on human lives and relationships and explore what it means to live ethically as individuals, family members, and participants in the larger community. We have no creeds and no doctrines, but we are united by our belief in the worth and dignity of each individual and our commitment to working together to create a more just, humane, and peaceful world.
